Everyday Celebration Cards Part 2

Here is a close up of card number one and eight. I also recreated these cards using the Jingle paper pack from the new fall/winter catalog. Enjoy!!





I am in the process of making birthday cards for my group of friends who are turning thirty! My goal is to send them a birthday card for this special birthday!! The Jingle paper pack is perfect for a winter birthday!

The card on the right is a card I made for my Aunt Donna. She is a breast cancer survivor but she just found out that her cancer has come back in her liver. I want to give her a hug so bad...but distance just doesn't make that so easy...so sending this card is my way of hugging her!! Please keep her and anyone who is fighting cancer in your prayers.

This is what I stamped inside the card for Aunt Donna.








Here are some more birthday cards using Jingle. I also got a chance to use the new twinkle brads jolly assortment.





How did I cut the parenthesis? I took the parenthesis stamp set from the everyday celebration stamp set and stamp the area I wanted. Then I cut the image to get the parenthesis. Very easy to make your own card to look like this if you would like.

September SOTM Blog Hop- Treasures

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring September's SOTM: Treasures, a set of 13 stamps. If you have come here from Laurie Levnik's Blog, you are on the right path! If this is your first stop, you may want to go back to Jena's Blog and start from the beginning!

This month we have 69 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations
using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to
move to the next one! Here we go!

This first card is simple simple simple!! Can I say it again SIMPLE!! I actually found the inspiration from a thank you card that my parents got. When I saw the thank you card I thought it looks so much like the September SOTM. What do you think??? I random stamped the cardstock with versamark ink pad and then covered the ink with white daisy embossing powder. To make the powder stick you use the craft heater to melt the powder onto the card. Like I said EASY and SIMPLE!

Which card did I do the SOTM on??
#1


#2

If you guessed number two you are correct!! :)

The next two cards I found my ideas from the new Card Confidence Program called Wishes! I love this book--just another book to help me get my creative juice going!!


The second card is called Keep It Level. I used the small "pom pom" to create a sun by going around in circle. Then I took the stem to make the rays on the circle and then on the bamboo cardstock. Thank you to Katy D. who shared this creative idea of turning the "pom pom" into a sun! She really was thinking outside of the box to come up with this idea. The background and texture paper is a new paper from the paper pack called grace. I thought the flowers looked like different versions of the sun!!

Even the two B&T duo from twitterpated has circles in it!!
